Florence + The Machine - Breath Of Life (Lyrics)
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
But I needed one more touch
Another taste of heavenly rush
And I believe, I believe it's so, oh oh oh
And I needed one more touch
Another taste of divine rush
And I believe, I believe it's so, oh oh oh
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?
Whose side am I on? Whose side am I?
And the fever began to spread
From my heart down to my legs
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh oh
And although I wasn't losing my mind
It was a chorus so sublime
But the room is so quiet, oh oh oh
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
To get a dream of life again
A little vision of the start and the end
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh
It's a harder way and it's come to claim her
And I always say, we should be together
And I can't sleep alone, because there's something in here
And if you are gone, I will not belong here (belong, belong, belong)
And I started to hear it again
But this time it wasn't the end
And the room is so quiet, oh oh oh oh
And my heart is a hollow plain
For the devil to dance again
And the room is too quiet, oh oh oh oh
I was looking for a breath of a life
For a little touch of heavenly light
But all the choirs in my head sang, no, oh oh oh

Florence should work on a score with Hans Zimmer. That will be epic, I love James Newton Howard, but I can't imagine what magic she would make with Zimmer

They haven't sung together yet, but Florence was the one who wrote To Be Human, a song for the movie Wonder Woman, and Sia is the one who sings it!

[@raquelfriend983]

Florence does something to me that I can't quite comprehend. Her music makes me feel invincible. Unfortunately, I need to learn to not let that feeling get to my head; one year ago, whilst listening to this song, I didn't pay attention to my speed and sure enough got pulled over. Fella wasn't too pleased with my reason. 😐

[@zeppelin_7245]

This comment gave me life

[@BlackPanther203]

+Raquel Friend That happened to me on the freeway. I was singing along to Dog Days are Gone and my speedometer was saying slow down. I think her songs sings to a vulnerability in us and makes that darkness seem special and uniquely us.

How can someone dislike this song? Or any song by Florence and The Machine? Weird people

[@tatianamachare7295]

love it

[@rodrigocann]

I think the same.

[@david_zau]

The dislikes are probably because of the movie . cause it sucked LOL . but florence ♥♥

it's called tastes or opinion

[@tikaemad5756]

why in the hell this song have only 3.8 m viewers only this is one of the best songs ever i have listen to

[@Tibetzzz]

tika emad Because it's a edited down garbage version of the actual song.

[@tikaemad5756]

this is not the actual song ? give me the link to listen to it

[@FrankTheDoomriderJohansen]

tika emad wtf! so 3.8 m is not low somehow.. the day 1m and upwards is considered underground or any of the sort then we have failed.

[@psychicbyinternet]

tika emad That's a lot of viewers. There are songs just as amazing with only 100s to 1000s. Complain about those.

[@TheFourthWinchester]

Cuz they have the same song under Snow White's name which has more views.

Hauntingly beautiful

[@markorollo.]

My main 'thing' is rock, metal, thrash etc, all the different kinds of music within that genre, plus I can listen to all kinds of other music, I'm not a rock snob that won't listen to anything else, if the songs good and if it speaks to me in some way I like it, but there is no other band or singer that gives me 'that' feeling when I hear them more than fatm. you know the feeling that you can't explain, they just take me somewhere no other artists does.

Still my favorite Florence+The Machine song. EVERY time I hear it, I get chills. Is it possible for song to make you like a movie more? I thought SWatH was fairly good movie, but when I heard this track fade in for the first time as the credits started to roll, I was completely mesmerized!! And to this day, I have the same exact reaction that I did the first time I heard it

Not only a great singer with awesome voice but beautiful woman too

[@SamSommerz]

Here I am, 5 years later, reflecting on this song and thinking that this is where it all started for me. Florence has been my favorite, still, throughout these 5 years of my life. She has only been the constant in my ever changing life and the thing to get me through most days. I finally got to see her live in Chicago on October 19th after all this time and I love how she grew, along with her music. It's like you never stop growing. Thank you, Florence, for being there for me all this time and in the times where I most needed comfort. Hope IS an action.

[@RECINOSP]

Wow I was on that concert to!

[@MetaMortis21]

Florence is perfect. A lot of really good English actresses and singers wow.

[@prettyaverage97]

All these people in the comments saying the song is better than the movie. Yeah, the song is amazing, I think we all know that - after all, Florence might be one of the best vocalists to ever have lived - but I think the movie is quite awesome as well. A good plot, awesome cast and stunning visuals. It's an epic, emotional fairytale/fantasy movie that changes the tale as we know it but stays faithful to the source material. I love it.

Loved this movie, The dark and epic tone, the atmosphere, the beauty of the actresses and actors and of course the music. It’s sad that it doesn’t lead to sequels or a shared universe. This comment is for you who enjoyed it.

[@SmallDragon7804]

I loved this movie just as much as you did. I thought the cast did very well in their roles, though the acting was a little off in some places. I saw The Huntsman: Winter's War. It was a jumbled mess. It had little to none of the darkness and epicness the first movie had. The acting was all right, but it was far removed from its prequel. Moreover, Snow White was not even in it. It is no wonder it failed at the box office. I am preparing to write a Xena: Warrior Princess/Snow White and the Huntsman crossover called 'Running Around.' Eric, Snow White, and William cross paths with a pregnant Xena, Solan, and Gabrielle. They aid them in caring for the victims of a brutal civil war between two towns. In this crossover, Eric and Snow White are married. He is not king of Tabor. He is her bodyguard and second-in-command. William is their closest friend and ally.
